Moxie Fab 5 for $5

First, you guys are the best. Thanks for not only reading my rant, but responding to it & supporting it. It really does help to know that there's support out there :)

So, I have some more fun stuff to post for Moxie Fab's Practical Solutions week - this time in the 5 for $5 category. All of the Practical Solutions challenges end Monday April 9 at midnight. Luckily, in the cost accounting for the $5 category, we do not have to consider adhesives, inks, etc. That makes it a bit easier! Still, it's a heck of a challenge. So I did it twice, because that's how I roll.

Keep in mind I'm not a photographer...and the requested photo format is sadly beyond my abilities. Here's Set #1:

I stamped the butterflies on each card, then stamped them again on scrap vellum (left over from cutting out the floral designs) and embossed with clear EP, fussy cut them, and adhered directly to the card.

Since I'm not really happy with the group photos, here's my favourite card from each set:

There may be another post from me later - right now I need to finish the morning obstacle course and get everyone out the door!

Two beautifaul sets of cards! Love the grays in the first set and the stained glass images in the second are gorgeous. They look beautiful surrounded by all that white space, and your butterfly and rhinestones are perfect accents. ann

Wow, that's impressive! I can barely make 1 card for $5 (or as my husband says, each card costs about $150 in supplies). I love the grey colors in the first set and the stained-glass vellum in the second set is so pretty! You rock!

About Me
